Psalm 28
NET Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew International Version
1By David. To you, O LORD, I cry out! My protector, do not ignore me! If you do not respond to me, I will join those who are descending into the grave. 1Of David. To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple! 2Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them! 3Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
4Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them! 4Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve.
5For they do not understand the LORD's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The LORD will permanently demolish them. 5Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
6The LORD deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy! 6Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7The LORD strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued and my heart is full of joy; I will sing to him in gratitude. 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
8The LORD strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king. 8The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9Deliver your people! Empower the nation that belongs to you! Care for them like a shepherd and carry them in your arms at all times! 9Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
